Glenn Scobey Warner (April 5, 1871–September 7, 1954) was an American football coach, also known as Pop Warner. During his 44-year career as a head coach (1895–1938), Warner had 319 major NCAA college football wins.
Warner's final head coaching job was at Temple University where he coached for 5 years until retiring in 1938. He served as advisory football coach for several years at San Jose State College after his retirement from Temple.
Warner brought many innovative playing mechanics to college football such as the screen play, spiral punt, single- and double-wing formations, numbering players' jerseys, and the use of shoulder and thigh pads. Warner died of Throat cancer in Palo Alto, California at the age of 83.
